Earlier this year the Ulster County
Legislature voted to hold a special election
on April 30 to fill the position of County
Executive after Mike Hein stepped down to
take a job with the Cuomo administration.
Two individuals are squaring off for
County Executive- Democrat Pay Ryan
and Conservative Jack Hayes.
Pat Ryan
Ryan, 37, grew up in Kingston and is
a fifth generation Ulster County resident
and currently lives in Gardiner with his
wife Rebecca, who is expecting their first
child, and their two rescue cats.

nearly 40 years Doug and MaryEllen
Glorie have decided to pass the torch

Doug bought the 52 acre farm in 1979
from the Quimby family and slowly
began transforming what then was an
open pasture into a prosperous orchard
and vineyard. He now grows 13 varieties
of grapes, 10 varieties of apples and a
“host” of other fruits. Doug also built a
3 bedroom 2 bath home on the property,

which has been fully updated, along
with maintaining the barns, grounds
and equipment. The property’s ‘piece
de resistance’ is the incredible view
looking eastward as far as the Taconic
Range that eventually runs up into New
England.
